WHO rs GALLAGHER?

It's sounding upon every side,
The dumb might even hea
Its echoing tumult, loud and wide,
From far away and near
From young and ole, from rich and poor,
From all, from high and low.
Goes up call op Gallagher
A call to "Let'er co."
What is the horror of his deed,
What the sppaaling fact.
How is it that he doesn't heed
The Glamour Der his act ?
What manner of excuse has be
10 make for doing so;
Who's she, and who is Gallagher,
Why won't he letter 60?
And was the outrage coIdly planned
And is the maiden fair
And has he got her by the hand
Or got her BY tho hair?
Is he money making rogue
Or disappointed beau
Oh! who on earth is Gallagher =?
Why don't lie letter 60?
Will nothing make the wicked scamp
His persscutisn cease,
Be- he gentleman Or tramp:
Are where are the police:
Is this a medieval age
When any daring foe
May steal maid .? Shant Gallagher
Be forced to Letter 60 =?
Or is it some stern parents whim
His daughter to confne
Where walks are thick and lights are
dim,
And does the beauty pine
For one who swore eternal love,
But hasn't any show:
What ails old Father Gallagher
Why can't he Letter go:
Has he bull dog in the yard
Sharp at the set of sun,
And are his daughters windows barred,
And has he got gun?
Would argument avail with him
Or would he answer mo q
What sort Of man is Gallagher,
Why don't be Letter 60?

Speaking without thinking is shoot

He who in most slow in making a
promise, is the most faithful in the
performance of it.
Black rot has attacked the grapes

He that cannot forgive others

Good temper, like sunny day

1t is tho sweetener of toll and the

True love is better than glory and

The essence of true nobility is neg

gone, like the bloom from soiled

Color blindness is twice as com

the rest Of the community, owing to
their having dressed in drab for gem

IN ME MORIAM.
INSCRIBED TO THE MEMORY OF MY
FATHER, WHO DIED AUGUST nth,
1887.

| stood by the bed of my Father,
And he on the verge of the grave;
And L watched as his life was departing,
Whilst knew that no mortal could save.
Over four score of years he had numbered,
And blessings had flooded those years;
But now he was helpless and dying,
And we were all blinded with tears.
l thought ms l watched by his bedside
How often he'd watched by my bed,
When | as child had been sleeping,
Or fever was throbbing my head.
How gentle his touch, as l suffered,
And how soothing that hand to my brow;
He would bid me be hopeful and patient,
And hear his sweet words, even now.
Then thought if but only our children
Would but learn that this trial will be
theirs,
Oh! how cautious they'd be in their living,
wAnd how lessened would be parents
cares.
The results ofeach act would be thought of
And when tempted they d quickly say
No!
Then the conscience would give its APP
proval;
And the spirit gain strength from the
blow.
And l thought of my life toward my father
OF the acts that had given him PAIN
or the duties that had neglected.
OF the chances that came not again.
And l prayed to my God for forgiveness
Yes, for every misdeed o. my years.
For His mercy and love tor my Father,
And for Faith in this moment of tears.
We have given him back to the Master,
ON HIS promise we will ever rely
THAT there's life for the one who be-
lieveth,"
And though dead, yet he never shall die"-
Now rest TO thy spirit, oh! Father!
As ages on ages shall RON:
Sweet peace to thy ashc, forever
with safety and rest for thy soul.

THE Wellsburg Herald is com
menting on the West Virginia Press
Association. publishes the following:
Capt. Colston of the Martinsburg
Statesman, made some meaty re
marks on the folly of country news
papers cutting their threats in the
way of booming city papers by pub
fishing clubbing arrangements with
them. The discussion was on what
should be the price of country
newspaper" and the sentiment of
the meeting soon manifested that
the "dollar year paper" idea was a
delusion and would bankrupt the
publisher in time. A resolution was
passed declaring the sense of the
meeting to be that 50 year was
but fair price Sor the average coun-
try newspaper, urging unity of pur-
pose in maintaining prices and in
the cultivation of local journalism
that need not compete with the city
weeklies.
We give the ~bove our hearty en-
dorsement. Cheap subscription and
cheap job work are like the preach
er who got ten dollars year. 1t
was poor pay and poor preach.

GIBSON Ds. THE JUDGE.

Hon. Eustace Gibson has publish
ed card giving his statement as to
being fined and committed to Jail by
Judge Jno. J. McGinnis. In closing
his statement be makes the follow
ing bold assertion
/ desire to add that my friend g
may rely upon it that when this case
comes on to be heard as it will be, i will
show Ira j. McGinnis to be a dis
honest and cowardly man and bru-
tai and insolent Judge.
These are henious charges, and if
proven, may lead to the impeach
lnent of judge. There may be per
sonal differences between a Judge
and an attorney or an attorney and
q Juror, but those differences had
best be kept out Of the Court room
otherwise all are amenable to the
law.

A New PAPER.-Jefferson County
is to have new paper to be pub
lished at Charlestown, by Mr.. David
Gosorn, an old and experienced
printer and editor. He has been in
Martinsburg for the past ten days,
and finding the INDEPENDENT crowd
ed with work, rendered assistance.
He informs us the paper will be
called the Jefferson Wing, and will
advocate protection doctrines in OPP
position to the democratic free trade
theory, He says he will endeavoI
to publish a firsS class local paper,
and to aid as far as he can the adj
vancement of local interests.
Mr.. Gosorn has reared a family of
sons who are printers, and he has
always been known as steady and
careful man. For many years he
was citizen of West Virginia, re.
siding, we believe, both at West I'm
ion and Keyser.
